What is a drug list?

A drug list, or formulary, is a list of prescription drugs covered by your plan. Your plan and a team

of health care providers work together in selecting drugs that are needed for well-rounded care

and treatment.

Your plan will generally cover the drugs listed in our drug list as long as: ? The drug is used for a medically accepted indication, ? The prescription is filled at a network pharmacy and ? Other plan rules are followed.

For more information about your drug coverage, please review your Evidence of Coverage.

Note to existing members:

This complete list of prescription drugs covered by your plan is current as of February 1, 2019.

For an up-to-date list of covered drugs or if you have questions, please call UnitedHealthcare Customer Service. Our contact information is on the cover.

This drug list has changed since last year. Please review this document to make sure your prescription drugs are still covered. In most cases, you must use network pharmacies to have your prescriptions covered by the plan.

When this drug list refers to "we," "us," or "our," it means UnitedHealthcare. When it refers to "plan," "our plan," or "your plan," it means AARP MedicareRx Walgreens (PDP) Plans.

How do I use the drug list?

There are 2 ways to find your prescription drugs in this drug list: 1. By name. Turn to section "Covered drugs by name (Drug index)" on pages 12?26 to see the

.......list of drug names in alphabetical order. Find the name of your drug. The page number where .......you can find the drug will be next to it.

2. By medical condition. Turn to section "Covered drugs by medical condition" on pages .......27?81 to look for drugs based on your medical conditions. For example, if you have a heart .......condition, you should look in the category Cardiovascular Agents. This is where you will find .......drugs that treat heart conditions.

Can't find your drug? Check the complete drug list by visiting our plan website at . You can use online tools to look up your drugs. This information is updated on a regular basis.

What are generic drugs?

Generic drugs have the same active ingredients as brand name drugs. They usually cost less than brand name drugs and are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Our plan covers both brand name and generic drugs.

Talk with your doctor to see if any of the brand name drugs you take have generic versions. Then review the drug list to make sure you are getting the drug you need for the least amount of money.

The drug list shows brand name drugs in bold type (for example, Humalog) and generic drugs in plain type (for example, Simvastatin).

What is a compounded drug?

A compounded drug is created by a pharmacist by combining or mixing ingredients to create a prescription medication customized to the needs of an individual patient. Generally compounded drugs are non-formulary drugs (not covered) by your plan. You may need to ask for and receive an approved coverage determination from us to have your compounded drug covered. Compounded drugs may be Part D eligible. For more information about compounded drugs, please review your Evidence of Coverage.
